Don't know where in the UK you went to, to be honest. Yes ... there's some, 
I guess. There's a few aristocratic types, I guess, who rabbit on about 
'REAL femininity' by which they mean they want their women to faint and 
swoon and do nothing more than look like wallflowers on their arm, but 
they're pretty much a travesty. And then I guess there's maybe a few 
working-class types who are inclined to pretty much lock their women up in 
the house and not let them out, but I think they'd get beaten up pretty 
quickly by the girl's mother.
